Thanks for posting this. I am a massive fan of Asa. It is a lot to do with her looks as well as her wrestling ability. Never thought I would be able to watch wrestling matches and fall in love at the same time.
The edge that "European" (i.e., Swedish or French) women wrestlers of days of yore had over American women wrestlers of today is that they actually looked like women and were attired in such a way as to emphasise the point. However, the shift of European women's wrestling dominance to the former Soviet republics means that the pig-ugly, fat-assed lesbo look is now pretty much universal. I'm glad I'm not young anymore!
Maybe 'cute' in the sense in which one might find a kitten cute, not from any other point of view. As I just said regarding another clip, all these little "China Doll" orientals are now starting to blur into one, whether they're from Hawaii, Japan or the Mong Galaxy. I suspect that the golden days of women's freestyle wrestling are over and it's all going to be frogman suits, bizarre headwear and massive asses from here on (sob!).
As for the bonnets, I was assuming either that US high school wrestlers were drawn from some obscure religious order or that these served as places of storage for the girls' ipods and cellphones. The situation's no better with judo ladies, in their pyjamas, or with grappling gals, in their knee-length, baggy shorts. If there still are glamour girls of combat, they may actually now be the boxers, a few of whom put on quite an eye-catching show at weigh-in ceremonies. Oh dear, what's a boy to do?
My son's just told me he thinks the wearing of those strange bonnets is required of colleges and high schools under the terms of their public liability insurance cover, to avoid legal claims in respect of the inadvertent transmission of alapoecia or dandruff from one wrestler to the other. I suppose this could be true, though it's not unknown for my son to spin any old yarn to his dear old dad, just to humour or get rid of the old fool.
Given the obsession with liability these days, it just might be true, although general stupidity and indifference to appearance might also account for it. My feeble efforts to end it have had
It's on the original unedited VHS tape from Lutte Sports Video that I boght over 10 years ago. I guess redropes either edited it out, or got it from another source that didn't have the original version.
Gotta love the screams in the crowd as Asa gets pinned. The funny thing is that this happened in many of her matches when she got in trouble. A devoted fan base, no doubt! Probably a combination of her great wrestling skills (for those days) and her good looks.
A classic match in the annals of women's freestyle wrestling. Too bad you left out the best part: between parts 2 and 3 when Asa in frustration rips off her hair band and throws it out of the ring, right before she gets pinned!
Ass-a.

European women definately have an edge on the American women, growing up w/o the hangups about wrestling.

On the other hand there are girls like Ida-Therese and the Mattson sisters from Sweden, pretty good lookers.
Not to mention a few from other countries. Don't you think Clarissa Chun is cute, for example?

Well, you have very demanding standards obviously.
Perhaps you could do something about the bizarre bonnets which have become de rigeur in US high schools. That's my
bete noire.
Let's hope you're wrong, anyway
